    / I feel deeply honored to have been elected as President of the 106th Infantry Division Association for the coming year. Knowing that it is a big job and a responsible job, I make no promises other than that I will do the best I can to strengthen and enlarge the Association so that we can come closer to attaining the purposes set forth in our corporate charter. I ask that all members of the Association cooperate with national headquarters by submitting suggestions and criticisms at any time, and by helping to build our membership by writing to friends and telling them about the Association.

CHARTER AMENDMENTS
     At business sessions, the corporate charter of the Association was amended to provide for a class of Sustaining Members at $10 per year, to provide for chapter representation on the Board of Directors, and to provide for increased flexibility in the division of work at national headquarters by making some changes in the sections dealing with duties of national officers. Major change was that the job of Secretary-Treasurer was eliminated because it is too much for any one person to handle. In its place, the Board of Directors is authorized to appoint such officers as it deems necessary. In addition to the charter offices of President, Vice President, Honorary Vice Presidents, Treasurer and Chaplain, the Board determined that this year we need a CUB Editor, Memorials Chairman, Adjutant, Post Exchange Officer, and Chapter Promotion Chairman. The new charter amendment is sufficiently flexible no that this can be changed easily if the plan does not work out.

    New national headquarters is now at Chicago, and all mail should be addressed to 106th Infantry Division Association at

CONVENTION HIGHLIGHTS
     306 persons, including 68 parents, wives and guests, attended the second annual convention of the Golden Lion Division, at the Claypool Hotel, Indianapolis, 30 July to 1 August 1948. The convention was managed entirely by Kenneth W. Perry, our vice-president, assisted by Al Harding, Charles Hackler, Lou Milanese, Mrs. Earl Yarling, Eileen Perry, Cleo Milanese and Naomi Harding.
     The committee did a splendid job and deserves much credit. All events moved smoothly according to schedule, the convention closed with a small profit, and all who attended had a great time.

     Although registration wasn't supposed to open until Saturday morning, more than half of the delegates checked in on Friday, apparently proving that three-day conventions are what the members want. The Directors met on Friday afternoon, and there were "open house" parties in many of the Claypool's rooms far into the night.

     With Al Harding as master of ceremonies, the official program was launched with a Saturday noon luncheon. Henry Schricker, ex-governor and present candidate for election this fall in Indiana, delivered a stirring welcome speech -- including a neat remark about the 106th leaving many memories in Indiana, some of whom would be entering the public school system soon. State Auditor A. V. Burch and Capt. Simmons of Stout Field also gave sincere and heart-warming welcome speeches.

     'The general business session of Saturday afternoon is described on page 6. It saw heated discussion on many points, and showed that the members are taking an active interest in Association management.

    / HARD AT WORK planning the 1948 convention is the convention steering committee. Left to right, Charles Hackler, Kenneth Perry, Mrs. Earl Yarling, Al Harding and Lou Milanese, all of Indianapolis.

     At 7:00 p. m., delegates assembled in the specially-decorated Riley Room for the annual banquet and dance, featured by the crowning of Miss Mildred Woodson of Inkster, Mich., as convention queen. At the banquet, Al Harding again presided; group photos were taken; the companion class, Order of the Golden Lion, was presented to Mrs. Earl Yarling and to Mrs. Earl Hopbell; chapter charters were presented; General McMahon announced the award of the French Croix de guerre with silver gilt star to the 589th FA BN. The dinner was followed by dancing and by an excellent floor show with KoKo the Clown.

     The Memorial Service, in honor of our fallen comrades, was held at the cenotaph in the center of Indianapolis. Against a beautiful floral back ground, Father John B. Day, National Chaplain, opened the service with a prayer. Mrs. E. D. Cromley, gold star mother, spoke inspiring words of tribute. Father Paul Cavanaugh delivered a brief sermon. Fred Vollrath, baritone, sang two solos. A squadron of planes from Stout Field dipped low over the cenotaph just before a bugler sounded the haunting memory filled notes of Taps. Participating in the services were the Red Cross, V.F.W., American Legion, Gold Star Mothers, American War Mothers, and many private citizens of Indiana.

     The Sunday dinner, with -Colonel Ben" as toastmaster, was to have featured an address by Cedric Foster, who was prevented from attending by extra duties in connection with the special session of congress. On a few hours' notice, Col. Thomas Riggs, CO of the 81st Engineers, did a pinch-hitting job as feature speaker which literally brought down the house.
     Riggs told of the defense of St. Vith by the presidentially-cited 81st and other units, and, on completion of his prepared remarks, was met

    with a storm of applause. He was not permitted to leave the rostrum until, by popular demand, he told the story of his own escape from the Germans-- an episode which we hope to present in a future CUB for the benefit of those who couldn't attend.
     Major George Huxel, S-3 of the 589th FA BN, told the combat story of the battalion which recently won the Croix de guerre with palm from the French Republic for its gallant stand at Parker's Crossroads. Excerpts from Major Huxel's excellent address will be reprinted in this winter's issues of the CUB.
     M/Sgt Ed Roberts, formerly Captain and Executive of Dog Company, 422d Id, gave a vivid description of the mass liberation of American officer POWs from the German camp at Hammelburg, recently described in a Saturday Evening Post article. As the first American officer to regain our lines, he was immediately interviewed by General Patton, and Roberts states that from that conversation he is certain that Patton did not know that his own son-in-law was at Hammelburg, when he sent out a liberation task force on what proved to be an abortive mission.

     All in all, Roberts, Huxel and Riggs held the audience spellbound for about an hour and a half. This session represented the high point of the convention for your editor. The program was helped along materially by Ben Hagman's antics as MC.

     A brief business session followed the dinner, and the last official session of the 1948 convention saw a new slate of national officers elected, with Charles N. Robasse of Chicago named President. Other officers are listed on page 2.

     Charters were presented to all chapters with 10 or more national Association members, by order of the Board of Directors in accordance with provisions of our national charter. First to be honored was Bob de St. Aubin, president of the Chicago Chapter which was the first chapter to incorporate under the laws of its own state. Bob then presented charters to the Auxiliary (Mrs. D. B. Frampton, Sr.) and to the following other chapters: Metropolitan; Michigan Wolverines; Minnesota; Hoosier Golden Lions of Indianapolis; Company G, 424th Inf; Pittsburgh; Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley., Boston; 106th Quartermaster Company. He announced that other chapters expected to receive charters during the year included Southern California, St. Louis and Southern Illinois, Buffalo, Albany, Central Illinois, Florida, Iowa, Company F 423d Infantry, Tennessee and a few others still in the formative period.

     CHARLES N. ROBASSE, JR., our new President, was First Sergeant of DHQ Co, was seriously wounded near St. Vith. Charlie has earned the bronze star medal and the purple heart. In civilian life he is employed in an administrative capacity with the Conlon-Moore Corporation. He has been active in the formation of the Chicago chapter.

     Organized one week before the convention, our brand new Michigan Wolverine Chapter was able to bring the second largest chapter delegation to Indianapolis, and when charters were granted to chapters on 31 July, the Michigan group had the third largest membership of the 14 chapters honored. We quote from a letter of John M. Gillespie, president, to give an idea of the successful methods used in the Wolverines' whirlwind organization.
     The Michigan Wolverine Chapter is honored to have been accepted as an active Chapter of the Association. In a few weeks, this chapter has demonstrated the possibilities that are within the reach of everyone who is willing to promote and help the national organization. Actually, our growth should act as a practical guide for others.
     "How did it all come about? Mainly through the unselfish efforts of Mr. David Woodson, acting as his only son would want him to do. He is our pioneer. Beginning with five men, ten days of promotion work brought twenty fellows to the first scheduled meeting, demonstrating their willingness to work for the Association's enlargement and prestige.
     "Our temporary officers are: president-- Jack Gillespie, 422/C; vice president-- Dick Frankini, 424/2d Bn Hq; secretary-treasurer-- Bob Rutt, 422/Hq, 10850 Nottingham, Detroit 24; sergeant-at-arms-- Don Palmer, 423/M; directors-- Bill French, 424/D and Joe Cannon, 589/C.
     "At the convention, Michigan was represented by 43 men. The chapter headquarters suite played host in entertaining Michigan and other members of the Association. Paid chapter membership was increased to 30, and the chapter is still growing.
     "Our foremost objective at present is to increase the chapter and national membership, which in turn will permit us to go all out on a memorial party for 16 December. If you are a Michigan man or could be of some aid, contact Bob Rutt, 10850 Nottingham, Detroit 24."
     Chapter dues have been tentatively net at five dollars. Persons who have already paid three dollars national dues are urged to send two dollars more to Bob Rutt, stating their national membership card number. This extra payment of two dollars will make them full-fledged members of the chapter.

David H. Woodson & Mildred Woodson

CONVENTION QUEEN
     Miss Mildred Woodson was crowned queen of the Association's 1948 convention at the Saturday night dinner-dance. The pretty 19-year-old girl from Inkster, Michigan was the unanimous selection of the judging committee, and is the sister of Pfc David H. Woodson, Company D, 424th Inf, who was killed in action. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David H. Woodson, have been active members of the Auxiliary and were instrumental in forming the Michigan Wolverine Chapter of the Association. Miss Woodson was presented with a table-full of handsome gifts donated by Indiana merchants, and was enthroned on a platform overlooking the crowd at the dinner. Her flowers were presented by Eileen Perry, Naomi Harding and Cleo Milanese of the convention committee. Your editor managed to bungle the job of putting on her lovely floral crown, but after a couple of dry runs, figured how the thing was supposed to go. The queen wore white satin.*

*Ed. Note: Maybe it was white taffeta. Why didn't I get one of the women to write this article?

    / RICHARD R. ROBINSON, Cn Co, 424th Inf, was graduated from the Univ. of Mich. in June with an A.B. in political science and a fine achievement record. A corporal (and wearer of the purple heart) with the 106th, he was captain of the Scabbard and Blade honorary military society at college, was Exec of the cadet battalion, and received the Distinguished Military Cadet medal from Michigan. Commissioned a 2d Lt, Inf, reserve, on graduation, he has applied for a tour of active duty. His home is at 314 East Saginaw St., St. Louis, Mich.

     KEN AND EILEEN PERRY of Indianapolis did a job in managing the 1948 convention. Formerly with Service Btry of the 589th, Ken is now in the automotive maintenance business, and was convention chairman. Eileen did most of the correspondence and paper work before the convention. They have four small children.

CONVENTION SIDELIGHTS
     General McMahon's crack that the 589th was one of the Division's "four best field artillery battalions" The man who wanted his Association membership in his father's name because his father was always home when the mail came Ben Hagman was in rare form as master of ceremonies at the Sunday. dinner-- he suggested a guessing game to identify the meat course at Saturday's "steak" dinner, offering roast pork with fish sauce as his best guess-- he also nearly broke up the discussion of a memorial school at Bastogne by saying he didn't see why we should pay to educate all those little bast-onians . . . .
     The Saturday afternoon business session used the hotel public address system until, during a hot and heavy debate, one of the boys came up from the downstairs bar to tell us that the whole thing was plugged in to the hotel's paging system and was being broadcast through all the public rooms and corridors. Bet they enjoyed the sad story of our financial condition. Continuing the 1947 record, the '48 reunion again had a clean slate with the local gendarmerie. Nobody picked up for disturbing the peace, no breakage-- just one parking ticket which the efficient convention committee promptly took care of.
     One character phoned convention headquarters at 5:45 a. m., wanting us to read him a complete list of men attending so he could see whether it would be worth his while to attend -- he lived just three miles out of Indianapolis. Another character sent us a collect wire to notify as to change his address-- he had been busted from Pfc to Pvt but was still in the same post and outfit.
     Door prizes at Saturday night's rodeo, all unwrapped and with no containers, caused considerable consternation to the winners. Among the choicer items were a pair of live ducks to Ollie Libman of Chicago, a live rabbit to Bill Finn of Chicago, several articles of female unmentionables to Col. Tommy Riggs, and a huge hunk of baloney to your editor.
     Delegates poured in from 31 states. A few also had to be poured out. One of the best things about this second convention was that it was under one roof-- any thirsty delegates could wander around the upstairs corridors where there were about twenty continuous parties in open-door rooms.
     No waiting lines at registration this year, thanks to Charlie Hackler's work at the desk. There was fast efficient table service at all meals, and all events started within 10 minutes of the scheduled time. Two or three fellows said it didn't seem like the army with no "hurry up and wait" and no lines to sweat out.
     Convention headquarters received more than 200 letters and telegrams expressing regret and greetings from men who couldn't attend. Saturday was General McMahon's birthday, and after he presented the Croix de guerre to the 589th, the gang sang happy birthday to him . . . . The Memorial Service was perfectly timed, with the squadron of planes from Stout Field sweeping over at exactly the right instant. That's a neat trick to start a large outdoor service on time and run it off to a 10-second leeway schedule to bulls-eye arrival time for airplanes-- credit to Lou Milanese, Mrs. Yarling and Mrs. Cromley who planned and ran the service.
     A feature was the establishment of chapter headquarters, with refreshments. The Chicago and Michigan rooms were particularly active.

     The third annual convention will be in Chicago, Illinois in the summer of 1949-- dates will be set and announced in time for release at December 16 dinners and in the December CUB. The convention will probably be a three-day affair held on a weekend, although this will depend upon available hotel arrangements. Charles N. Robasse, our new President, spoke on behalf of the Chicago Chapter, inviting the 106th to Chicago for 1949. The invitation of our Chicago hosts was unanimously accepted in the business meeting of this year's convention. Chicago was selected because of its excellent convention facilities, its location on main transportation lines, and because so many men who have worked hard for the national organization are available to plan and organize the affair-- Bob de St. Aubin, Charlie Robasse, Russ Villwock, Col. Tommy Riggs, Frank Anderson, Amos Wright, Vin Stiles, Father Boyle, Frank Hohenadel and many others will participate in arrangements for 1949.
So, for next year, it'll be ON TO CHICAGO!

COMPANY H, 422d INF.
     This is the second of three installments of the combat story of this company. Last month, the story closed with the men of Walker's platoon bunched in a ravine approaching Schonberg on 19 Dec '44.
     Schonberg was just ahead. Co E and a platoon of G Co were advancing along a ravine toward the Andler-Schonberg Road. Vehicles were crowded bumper to bumper along this road. We believed them to be 423d vehicles until they opened fire with detonating HE shells. Small arms fire drove us out of the ravine.

/ LOOKING NORTH INTO SCHONBERG, where the 422d and 423d came to grief on 19 Dec. '44. -Photo by Francis Aspinwall

     Col. Scales, Capt. Jacobs of Co H, and all other officers had gone on ahead. Lt. Emmitt I. Harman, Jr. and I decided to fight it out with what ammunition we had. Harman's machine guns successfully countered small arms to our front, while the remaining four mortars went into action against the self-propelled half-tracks in the valley about 1,900 yards away. All four MG and four mortar crews were without cover or concealment of any kind. They performed heroically. All four MGs and two mortars were put out of action by enemy artillery hits. My mortar observer field glasses were knocked out of my hands by a shell fragment.
     T/Sgt Samuel F. Baxter rushed in to man a jammed MG, immediate-actioned it, and was killed by a shell fragment after his MG was blasted from between his legs. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star.
     Lt. Harman was killed when aiding seriously wounded S/Sgt Gerald D. Meadows to safety. I can still see Harman standing erect, observing and correcting fire, and then ordering the withdrawal of his men. He also received the Silver Star posthumously.
     S/Sgt Raymond F. Jones and Pfc Carl Aylesworth were reconnoitering a withdrawal route, were killed by small arms fire, and were recommended for the Silver Star. Pfc Joe D. Benedetto was seriously wounded when he crawled back to his MG to complete its destruction, and was later killed by bombing at Gerolstein on Christmas Eve on the way to POW camp. He too was recommended for the Silver Star.
     Sgt Edward Murphy was blinded in one eye by a shell fragment while correcting MG fire. Pfc Calvin C. Alexander and Lawrence Post completed demolition of Murphy's MG, then carried him to the cover of the brow of a hill some 300 yards away. All three were recommended for the Silver Star.
     S/Sgt Arnold W. Almond set out down a hill to get an enemy machine gun. He silenced the gun after having tumbled and sprinted downhill for a hundred yards with MG tracers floating all around him. Miraculously, he was unwounded. This earned him a Silver Star recommended to go with the Bronze Star he had won three days earlier.
     2d Lt George E. Hammond was killed while observing and correcting fire from a standing position. He received the Bronze Star. T/Sgt Herbert R. Cassidy calmly took over his duties and supervised the withdrawal of many men over the hill's brow. S/Sgt Woodrow W. Moss and S/Sgt Meadows, along with Cassidy, were recommended for the Silver Star for outstanding bravery and leadership under direct enemy fire. Likewise were S/Sgt Lloyd G. Pearsall, S/Sgt Smythe, and Sgt Roger B. Martin recommended for decorations for gallant work in this action.
     Sgt Charles L. Rizzoli tried to retrieve his squad's MG after T/Sgt Baxter had been killed, and Rizzoli was killed in the attempt. Tec 5 Hampton, with wild abandon, tried to keep a jammed machine gun going, and checked ammo belts out in the open. Pfc Perry J. Dupuy and Pfc Ted W. Cathay stuck to their gun until it was shot out from under them. Dupuy, painfully wounded in the leg, helped Cathay demolish the gun and Cathay helped Dupuy over the hill's brow to temporary safety. All were recommended for decorations.
    / LEWIS H. WALKER, author of this story, lives at 11 Woodland Place, San Rafael, Cal. He wears the silver star medal and the purple heart with two clusters, was a 1st Lt with H/ 422, and is an abrasives engineer in civilian life. He is married, has two children.

H/422, (cont'd from page)
     Pfc James L. Meagher, after his weapon was destroyed, flew among the wounded, and although not a medic, was personally responsible for saving the lives of three men. He could have withdrawn to safety, but stayed on the job until hit by shell fragments. He had turned down a West Point appointment to stay with the 106th. Other men of the 2d MG platoon performed in much the same exemplary way. I mention only those acts of heroism which I personally saw.
     Like the machine gunners, the mortar men were without cover, on the forward slope of the hill facing Schonberg. Mentioned in the above paragraphs were mortar men Cassidy, mortar men Moss, mortar men Almond, mortar men Pearsall and mortar men Smythe. Corporals Edward W. Born, Andres N. Madson Jr., Irvin K. Brough and Robert I. Snovel Jr. manned their mortars and scored three hits in eleven rounds at about 2,100 yards, knocking two enemy self-propelled guns out of action and crippling a third.
    / ROBERT I. SNOVEL, JR., Company H, 422d /4, is shown with his wife and son at home at 15 S. Fifth St., Perkasie, Pa. Bob now works for the U.S. Gauge Co.

     Each of the above was recommended for the Silver Star, along with the following of their crewmen: Cpl Everett F. Van Houten; posthumous for Pfc Chrispin L. Miranda, previously awarded the Bronze Star, and killed in the Gerolstein Christmas Eve bombing; Pfc Walter Nowaczyk; Pfc Eugene Paananen; Pfc John H. Niven; Pfc Fred L. Parra; Pfc Douglas D. Rubnitz; Pfc Leo Rossin; Pfc Morris Sobel. Others of the 3d Platoon well merited awards for similar courageous acts in that awful half hour that seemed to last an eternity, or was it ten minutes? I was hit twice, in the left arm and left shoulder, while directing mortar fire, but I had time to see that all guns were demolished and all wounded evacuated before being the last man of the 2d and 3d platoons to take cover behind the brow of the hill.
     The action described above took place about 1100 to 1120 19 Dec. What I found on the other side of the hill was awful. Scores of men were milling around, many with hands up, others in the act of discarding weapons and ammunition.
     It became painfully apparent that I was the only officer in the area. Most men crowded around urging surrender, but I couldn't do this and face my own sergeants. A number of E Co men filtered back to wildly tell about their slaughter and surrender. I had time to notice that we were almost completely encircled by enemy fire.
     I led a column of men into a second growth pine woods. Men from the 423d, 81st Engrs, artillery and even AA men began to join my impromptu command when 2d Bn S-2 1st Lt Hartley and a 2d Lt Wassels of C Co, 422d, appeared. When I felt we had at least eluded the enemy for a short time, Hartley naturally assumed command of the column while I took stock of the men. There were 199 men of 15 different companies and six different basic units. Practically every man had some ammunition for his own weapon. After a couple of hours of movement, we found the 422d Regt supply base and motor pool and crossed an enemy machine gun field of fire to rejoin it, about 1645 on the evening of the 19th.
     Major Ouellette and Major Moon were senior officers. I assumed command of the 96 survivors of Co H, and took over a sector of the defense. By this time it was dark, I had lost a lot of blood from my minor but free-bleeding wounds, and gladly accepted treatment from 1st Lt John D. Shidemantle, M.D., Assistant Bn Surgeon who was doing magnificent work for the many wounded. T/Sgt Cassidy, S/Sgt Richard L. Russell, and the Co H Motor sergeant, S/Sgt Richard Thomas, took over for me. Captain Kielmeyer had brought all his officers and 156 EM of Co G through the hill episode.
     The area had been under artillery concentrations, mostly tree bursts. The men dug in as well as they could in the cold oozing mud, and covered their foxholes with branches and earth for protection from cold and from tree bursts. Careful check was made on food. There was enough to deliver two scant but hot meals to all men in the next two days. We were exchanging scattered rifle fire with the enemy in the woods, who were very noisy, probably to try to make us overestimate their numbers. Complete darkness fell. My sergeants came to the log shelter which served as company CP.

     On 26 June the Metropolitan Chapter held the largest local reunion yet arranged by any of our units. 250 men attended a beer party in the 71st Regiment Armory at Park Avenue and 34th Street, New York City. Professional entertainment, arranged by Warren Jacober, and free beer highlighted the get-together. The Met Chapter has ambitious plans for the coming year, including an October business meeting and a big memorial reunion in December. The chapter now has nearly 200 paid members, and asks that non-members in New Jersey and in New York, Brooklyn or suburbs send four dollar dues to Jack Middleton, Secretary, 60 Green Avenue, Madison, N. J.

     The Bay State organizing committee, headed by Vin Harrold of 40 Imrie Rd., Boston 34, is working on plans to sign up all of the 100 persons who attended last year's 16 December dinner, and hopes to sponsor another bang-up reunion this winter. Dues of four dollars may be sent to Harrold or to national headquarters.

     Russ Kelly, 1905 No. Tenth St., Springfield heads an organizing committee to start a chapter in Central Illinois where we have a large potential membership. First meeting of this chapter will be in December, at which time the members will decide on amount of chapter dues.
     St. Louis and Southern Illinois Chapter Harold Pax of Beckemeyer, Illinois is chairman of a committee formed to start something in St. Louis, north-eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois. Chapter dues of four dollars are payable to national headquarters.

     The 424th's George Company, first unit to be honored with a chapter charter, again led all rifle companies in attendance at the 1948 convention. Dues of four dollars are payable to Sam Blandford, Easton, Md.

     Al Harding, Ken Perry and the rest of our Indianapolis workers have made tentative plans for a big 16 December reunion in Indianapolis. Chapter dues will be set at that time. Men in Indiana who are interested in helping to organize this chapter are invited to write to Perry at Route 20, Box 891, Indianapolis 44.

     Our potential Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia Chapters may join together in sponsoring a single 16 December reunion this winter. Bill Miner, 3017 D St., Philadelphia 34, and Clayton Rarick, Box 25, Blandon, Pa. are the organizers.

     The Chicago Chapter's spring dance at Keyman's Hall on 29 May was a huge success, about 250 people attending. The chapter will play host to the 1949 convention, and has plans for many events during the year. Dues of five dollars are payable to Russ Villwock, Secretary, 1115 Patterson Avenue, Chicago.
    / CHICAGO CHAPTER OFFICERS pose with Ken Perry, convention chairman, at their May Dance. Left to right, Francis Anderson, M/Sgt Amos Wright, Frank Hohenadel, Perry, Father E. T. Boyle, Charles Robasse, Russ Villwock and chapter president Bob de St. Aubin.

     Plans are under way for another 16 December reunion in Pittsburgh, with 21 men already signed up for the Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania Chapter. Dr. Gerald Cessna, 703 Professional Building, Pittsburgh is the organizer. Chapter dues of four dollars may be sent direct to national headquarters.

     Indications are that December 16 reunions will be held by chapters now being formed in Iowa, Buffalo, Albany, Tennessee and Ohio. Plans will appear in the October-November CUB.

     This issue of the CUB goes to about 100 men in the Southern California area who have returned postcards stating that they are interested in forming a chapter and having local reunions in their part of the country. The organizing committee has good plans for building chapter membership and for holding local reunions. If you live in the Southern part of California and would like to help in organizing the chapter, please write to Claude Webb, 814 "C" Avenue, Coronado. To join the chapter, send four dollars to national headquarters or direct to Webb. Other members of the organizing committee are Marshall Lipkin of Los Angeles and Roy Wentzel of Santa Ana.

TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP

     We have requests for information about the present address of the following, or, in the case of men killed in action, for information about their last days, death or capture. If you have any information whatsoever that might be helpful in tracing this information, please write to Missing Persons Department at national headquarters.
GROVER G. BRADLEY, S/Sgt, formerly of 26 Willow St., Lilly, Pa.
THOMAS BROWN, Pfc, 424th Inf, believed to live in or near Chicago.
IRVING CHADWICK, Capt, Hq Btry, 590th FA Be. carried as MIA, formerly of 165 Broadway, New York City.

IF YOU'RE IN THE CHIPS
    We've got just the proposition for you. Our charter was amended last month to create the class of SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP at ten dollars per year. Sustaining members have no more rights and privileges than do our ordinary members. The sustaining membership plan is simply a method of encouraging members to contribute a little extra each year for our general corporate purposes. Well use no high pressure salesmanship to put this across, and we don't want anyone to take out a sustaining membership unless they feel freely able to afford it.
     To become a sustaining member, send as your check for seven dollars, enclosing a slip of paper with your name and address and the statement that the money is for sustaining membership. If you have not already paid your '48-49 dues, send ten dollars if you wish to become a sustaining member.

     As this is written (10 August), we want to hear from 462 of our readers. They are the guys who have received our bills for renewals of dues and subscriptions, and who have put the bill and return envelope somewhere in a pocket or drawer with good intentions of sending it back some day. If you are one of the delinquents, please send in your renewal today! It is hard to plan a budget for the coming year when we don't know how many members we'll have, so if you intend to renew, please don't put it off any longer.
     And, when you do renew or whenever you write us, PRINT or use a typewriter. Remember, if we have your address wrong it's because we can't read your handwriting.
